RahIroad Mnfna

The new large passenger car storage shed of the Consolidated road is well advanced to- ward completion.
 The foundations are laid for the new large brick extension of the Consolidated road re- pair shops. With the new building there will be more room for the machinists and To- eomotive builders.
 The work of stone ballasting the Consoli- dated road from the eastward has progressed to a point beyond the Southport depot. For the present the work will be left where it is, as the demand for stone at the New Rochelle improvement is so great as to exhaust the capacity of the crushers. Eighty carloads a day are being shipped to New Rochelle, and all hands have been transferred to that point.

SALE BEGINS

For the RHnnell Memorial Day Benefit
 -TheVeteran Soldiers and Decoration
 Day.
 The reserved seat sale for the Bunnell Me- morial day benefit begins al Loomis' this morning at o'clock. In some respects the veterans of the several Grand Army posts intend to make the day this season more memorable than any since the war It is their desire to decorate with flowers the grave of every soldier and sailor buried in New Haven whether he was member of any post or not To accomplish this each grave must be designated with a small flag or 'tmarker" to be systematically placed the day preceding the ceremony. The appropriation from the city does not cover all the expenses and Manager Bunnell generously comes in with his benefit to make up the deficiency. Members of the several G. A. R. posts or of Ladies' Relief corps or Sons of Veterans who are not already supplied with tickets and are willing to take them on sale will be provided with tickets by calling upon either of the committee, D. W. Sharpe or D. s. Thomas.

At this time the crops in this coun,

also doing we'll.
There is not much said about tho

Oats generally are good enough, and
they will be n most welcome and

If every body can stay in good hui

side OF the mom%Hins, and the tour

and charming banks of the French
BrOad the most beautiful views will
burst upon him like u revelation.
No river abounds in u greater varie-

pricious French Broad At one time
its waters, calm and quiet as those of

tute closed last Tuesday. Prof. Nc
Caslan and his family will leave in n
few days for their now home at Tau
rens, at which place the Professor
will take charge Of the Fernalo Col
1ege. He and his family during
their sojourn in this village since 49,
80, have so endcarcd themselves to
our people that they will be greatly
missed. They have done noble ed
ucational work in this community
that time cannot wholly efIaco. Ed.
ucation has enjoyed a continual boom
under their management, and wo
have taken a step forward that we
trust will never be retraced. To hold
the advantage gained through this in
strumentality, every one who has any
interest in the community should
stand together. Some decisive steps
must be taken and taken Mt once.
Every one can 50 readily appreciate
the importance of having a school un-
der an able teacher that it is useless
to discuss this question. The tide is
at its food and the opportunity must
be improved at once. Even those
who have no children to educate can
i'll afford to allow the interest in the
school to flag.
If we are unconceIned and become
divided on the school question, we
lose at once, the greatest boon Incl

OF action in this particular that has
given our town such shove forward
In the last fow yoars. The matter
should be put in good shape at once.
1t is not merely q question for those
